In this article from one of the editors of Bella Magazine (available online from the address above) the author, a new parent, takes a look at an array of worrying news clippings & tries to make sense of it all. Toy recalls, lead-based paints, the China toy scare, falling hazards, choking hazards, Bisphenol A (BPA), leaching baby bottles, it's all a bit overwhelming for new parents who are trying to do the best they can in protecting their children. In keeping with (the editor's) commitment to raise her baby as naturally & holistically as possible, she decided to venture out & do some research about toys & baby bottle & sippy cup safety. This feature reports on her findings to many questions such as: What is BPA & how is it used? What are the studies reporting? Who is most at risk & why? What baby bottles contain BPA? What are the alternatives to BPA? What does it all mean?
